My veins are very small and hard to get to. When I was a kid this one lady tried, I think, 6 times. I was about to pass out from it and so was she. She was shaking by the end. There’s such a variation in quality of work when it comes to taking blood.
I’d had some bruise me for over a month and others do it so well and so quick, I barely felt it.
I have the same problem. Fortunately, I have a high pain tolerance.
